Creative ZEN

...BINGO I came across this Creative Zen MP3/Mp4 player. The pictures of it looked tremendous and smart. The 2.5" screen was so attractive and I knew from then this was my mp3 player, my prayer had been answered I had never really been a fan of Creative products till I saw this mp3 player. I usually used to buy Sony or Samsung mp3 player. But I guess it's true what they say, 'there is a first time for everything'. Since I got this Creative Zen mp3 ...
...you can upload to the creative Zen instantly. Transferring the files does not take long at all and the video quality is way beyond excellent. ---Whilst playing you music it will show you the picture of the album. ---The mp3 player has a DJ feature which I find very useful as it will play you it's album of the day (it will chose a random album to play from the music that's on the mp3 player. The DJ function also let you see the music you listen to ...

Review of Creative ZEN

...really a heartening arrival from Creative planners and it seems this highly rated organization is getting their acts together. They have had lot of promise and Creative Zen, the latest arrival from their pipeline has established that they have the capacity to live up to the expectations. I always thought that user or customer feedback network is essential the success of products which have to cope of with such massive international competetion and ...
...look and a feel of Creative Zen it struck me that this was designed to compete with iPods at a reasonable level, being an iPod heater, Creative Zen has hardly meant a threat to the iPod community. In terms of technology and quality it’s yet to reach the class to give a reasonable challenge to Apple iPods. But all said and done Creative Zen has definitely got the class, as far as the audio players are concerned, to remarkably enhance Creative’s Audio ...

Review of Creative ZEN

...have been a long time Creative user having owned a Creative Nomad and Creative Micro photo in the past, and as such choose to keep with Creative for my next MP3 player. Generally they have always been of good build quality and lasted me a fair amount of time before wear and tear got the best of them. Well the first thing to note is the size of the player. It's credit card width and whilst thicker then the Apple Nano it provides a feeling that it ...
...you do you'll find that Creative has taken a step down from their Vision players. No longer can you play every type of video under the sun, and even more annoyingly is that the videos have to be a certain frame size to be played. All in all though it's a decent little music player, and as ever a nice alternative to the ever dominant Ipod. ...

Review of Creative ZEN

This is my first Mp3 player, although my wife has an Ipod mini. Overall I have found it to be a fantastic little companion on the train, out walking or just for around the house. Good storage capacity at 8 meg, and the ability to add additional if required. Size and shape mean it fits easily into any pocket and you hardly know it's there. It really comes into it's own though in functionality and ease of use. Very easy to load using the software supplied, ...
...charged it has managed to outlast any trip I've made with it. It also has a nice little FM radio tuner built in. If I had to knock it for anything it would be the headphones aren't brilliant (but these are cheap to replace, the USB cable supplied is a little short (3 inches, but again can be replaced) and it isn't quite loud enough. All in all though it beats my wifes Ipod mini hands down. ...

This product is fantastic. There are loads of acessories available for it, as well as replacements for things you've lost or broken. Downloading from the computer couldn't be easier and you can syncronise between them so that whenever your mp3 is plugged into the computer, it will autmomatically download any updates and changes. The screen quality is fantastic and videos are extremely clear, you can also store pictures which are easy to view and ...

Review of Creative ZEN

...brother had both had amazing creative mp3 players with no problems (his zen touch has been running for 4 years and still going strong) i decided to look for a new creative player the mozaic in my opinion was the same thing with an ugly casing and the x-fi was a bit expensive so at the size i needed the zen was ideal. Memory- at 8 gb it holds a substancial amount of songs i don't know exactly as i haven't managed to fill it yet Battery life- i have ...
...exactly as i use it in small amounts regulary Size- this is about the size of a bank card is is a dinky little device and as it is mosly screen it is just the right size to slp in that tight jeans pocket Sound quality- the sound quality is amazing, and that is through the head phones supplied and if you connect a pair of nice ones like jvc ones the sound is perfect. Price- at around £50-£80 it is resonable priced and is both cheaper, better and ...

Review of Creative ZEN

I received this device as a gift. I was a little unsure at first as I had never owned any kind of MP3 before. I was very pleasantly suprised to find it very easy to use and that it has unexpected features such as radio, photo and video. Personally I often use this on the train or the walk to work - the sound and video quality is excellent. I have often watched programs downloaded from BBC i Player and the quality is brilliant. The Zen comes with ...
...also use i-tunes with this product, which is very handy. The only very slight gripe with this product is that I found the buttons a bit confusing at first... although saying that, I didn't read the instructions! This is a great alternative to an i-pod, personally I think it is better - easier to use and with more features. ...

Review of Creative ZEN

Last christmas, I recieved this MP3 player as a gift. At first sight, you can immediately tell it is a well designed product, with an intuitive user interface, and well positioned buttons. Setting up the device was also extremely easy for me. I just plugged it into my PC and it synced my music library within a couple of minutes. Video quality is also excellent, however I had trouble getting video files to play on the device, and I also noticed ...
...battery life. Sound quality is satisfactory, good for the price. The device usually works well for me, but it has locked up a few times, however this is easily fixable by pressing a reset button on the bottom of the device. The screen is good, however i found it scratched easily in my pocket. An investment in a case would definitely be a good idea for this product. Overall I found it to be an excellent MP3 player for the price, with only a few ...

Review of Creative ZEN

The Creative Zen, in my opinion, is a very good MP3 player which could quite easily give the Ipod nano a run for its money. The sound quality of the Creative Zen, I believe is far superior to that of an Ipod. Although it may not look as impressive, it is a neat looking piece of technology; very sleek and stylish looking. Also, It is neither masculine nor feminine and therefore suits everyone! The Zen also plays videos and again, the quality is good. ...
...software that comes with the Creative Zen is really good, allowing you to put any file onto your Zen as it converts them for you. A massive advantage, in my opinion, is that the Zen comes with a SD card expansion slot so if you only buy the 4GB Zen, you can increase the capacity at a later date, up to 12GB which is better than the nanos maximum 8GB capacity. Furthermore, the Zen has an FM radio on it which is a nice addition. Another plus point is ...

Review of Creative ZEN

i got this player by chance, when my archos broke and the store couldn't substitute it, i used the store credit to get the first decent looking player i found. turns out i made a good choice. i've been using it for over two months now, and almost all i have to sayabout it is good. first of all, it's small, about the size of a credit card, it's thin and very light; it's weight and dimensions don't affect it's consistency though, it feels solid and ...
...and it's a pleasure to watch videos or browse pictures on it . the menu is intuitive enough and has a great deal of options to select music: playlists, song ratings, by genre, by artist,... whatever your preference is in the way you pick your files, you'll find it easily enough on this player. it also has an "album of the day" button, that randomly selects albums for you. audio quality is very good, considering i'm an average user of this kind of ...

Review of Creative ZEN

The Creative ZEN is the perfect size - big enough to fit in your pocket but not so small that you loose it. It is very easy to use and the software which comes with it is very useful. The text is easy to read, because of the clear screen. The player is easy to connect to a computer and charges while you do this which is very helpful. I've found that the 8mb storage it has is more than enough for my purposes, but if I ever did run out of room on ...
...like most MP3 players, it is much cheaper than iPod's of similar specifications and features. There is also an FM radio which is quite simple to use once you've read the instructions. Another feature is a voice recorder. If you do buy this, then I advise that you also buy the case for it as it is not too big or bulky but is very stylish and useful. ...

Review of Creative ZEN

...have always stuck faithful to Creative despite the lure of Apple's excellent ipod range. This model is the answer to the ipod nano. The main difference being the price tag, being drammatically cheaper than the Apple equivalent. The unit itself is very slick and slim with a large vibrant 2.5 inch screen dominating the front. The capacity is just about right for a modest music collection. The interface is faily simple to use but does take a little ...
...of expanding its memory with a SD card the zen provides flexibility as well ass quality. Although the player provides video the screen is too small to watch anything of great length. It is perhaps more suited for music videos rather than television programmes. The 65million colour display is excellent for viewing photographs. All in all an excellent product of high quality. Will not disappoint. Great value for money compared to the competition. ...

Review of Creative ZEN

The Creative Zen is seen as an iPod competitor, but I don't think it will overtake the iPod any time soon. The player is very nice and the price is quite low compared to iPods. It can player music and videos as well as show photos. Everything is great quality. It has very good battery life, for me it is brilliant for this. iPods have batteries that don't last very long, but the battery in the Zen seems to last forever. It isn't as good at transferring ...
...also have to use the creative zen sync manager to transfer the music to the player, which is slow. For me, this is a good player for it's price and has amazing battery life. However, it doesn't have the same features or finish as any iPod so I would take an iPod any day. ...

...sound and video quality, Creative also saw fit to add some nice extras such as microphone, memory card slot and EQ. The memory card slot allowed me to upgrade my mp3 player for cheap. There seems no reason to buy an over priced apple ipod when this is on the market. I have recently bought this and although it seems fairly durable I feel the buttons could become a problem in the future. However, for th price I paid it wont be a terrible blow if it ...
